Pros

Salary and compensation is reasonable, but not as good as expats likely

Cons

Locals are not the main players in this company, simply has a role to play (creating EP quota with no career growth and aspect). Promotion-winning projects are given to inner-groups, and locals are probably there to clear non-important, laborious work (differs from team to team likely). No diversity, probably 1 Singaporean to 10 expats (not sure where the abundance of EP is obtained). Also, workers in china does 996, 内卷 is inevitable and through culture one has to work the equivalent amount.
